Gov. Mike DeWine ordered all U.S. and Ohio flags be lowered to half-staff in honor of the victims of terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
Flags should be flown at half-staff at all public buildings and grounds throughout the state on Patriot Day.
In honor of those killed in the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01, I've ordered that all U.S. & Ohio flags be flown at half-staff at all public buildings/grounds tomorrow, the 20th anniversary of the attacks. I also encourage Ohioans to observe a moment of silence tomorrow at 8:46 am. pic.twitter.com/KnBuhSoIrJ

The order is in effect from sunrise to sunset on Saturday, which marks the 20th anniversary of the attacks.
DeWine also asked Ohioans to observe a moment of silence Saturday at 8:46 a.m., the time that American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
